I am a big believer in supplements. DHA/Fish oil, magnesium, calcium, Vitamin D, ALA and Milk Thistle. Protein Powder shakes a few times a day. And BCAA's post workout.

I also believe in using mild medications appropriately when you've over done it - I keep a script of Naprosyn and Soma handy when heavy sessions get the better of me.

I'm also an avid believer in twice daily yoga and tai chi. Along with SMR that includes EMS with ice as needed.

Shit, I keep my Brookstone foot massager at my office and use it throughout the day whilst typing the BS that is the legal profession.

Recently got the hyperice shoulder compression unit and it was sweet until the damn bag ruptured and ice water poured all over the place (on the first use mind you). I also have the Hyerice roller and ball roller. Those things are sweet. Bit pricey, but worth it in the limited time I've had them.

The cool thing about training is that becoming more sexy is just a side effect........

RBSG is a much better source than myself and he covered it way better than I would have. But I've seen numerous "articles" saying G/C doesn't work as per lab tests but everyone I know that takes it says it helps.

The best thing I did for my joints were tap extra early(sorry I'm a bjj kweer so), stop wearing overly tight compression sleeves, do high rep band work, and stop drinking whiskey specifically and alcohol in general.

One of my online friends is a pretty big brained trainer and he advocates getting most of your supplements from real food i.e. eat oily fish in lieu of taking fish oil now short of eating shark cartilage and bug or crab shells I don't know where you'd get GC in food.

I wish the topic of supplements wasn't so much the province of anecdote and gurus and the thing your smart friend does. Would like some systematic knowledge here. I'd love to take 3 or 4 well-chosen things, to get a leg up on the next ten years. But which?
